Bank RBK presented famous photo of The Beatles in support of the International Beatle Week

Bank RBK has presented in Almaty one of six shots of The Beatles taken in August 1969 by photographer Ian Macmillan for the Abbey Road cover, 12th album of the famous band. Bank RBK bought the photograph on May 22, 2012 at Bloomsbury Auctions, UK, for £16,000, auction charges not included. The presentation was held in support of the annual Liverpool International Beatle Week, UK, that dates back to 1987.

Although another shot was used in the Abbey Road cover, the photograph bought by Bank RBK has significant historic and cultural value. The photograph differs from the actual chosen album cover, in three key elements that Paul McCartney is seen wearing sandals, instead of walking barefoot, his cigarette is missing and the fact that The Beatles are seen walking in a different direction. This has prompted a series of bizarre conspiracy theories among some enthusiasts who believe that McCartney actually died in a car accident and has been replaced by a body double.

Bank RBK invites everyone to see the authentic photograph of The Beatles which will be soon exhibited on open access during business hours in bank’s office in Almaty at 13, Square of Republic.
